I never say much, but every single day I stalk the forums and sites for new news. I have the CE already preordered in full, about 8 real life friends already wanting to play because I've drilled it into their brains that WoW is not a real game, and I have my brand new tower arriving next week to go with my new 23" LED monitor. It's taking longer for September 22nd to get here then the 15 months I waited to get out of Iraq!

I'm not even much of a gamer, but I certainly put my time into FFXI and I'm hoping this game can fill the void that no game since FFXI has been able to do!

I can't wait either. Kinda feel like I've filled up with enough info at this point & just wanna get in there and create my character already. More info would be cool too though. And I still have the issue of reorganizing this room and my new computer set up so I can play the game righteously. Other than that, maybe I'll get into some old school stuff like FF7/8 or Chrono Trigger/Cross until september.

This forum is about as close to playing as I can get for now. I think somewhere in my mind I imagine logging on to Zam one day and there is a new thread waiting: "Play FFXIV Early - Click here." And then *poof* I'm playing.

I am also so freakin' excited. My new PC shipped today, with any luck I'll be playing Champions Online before bed tonight. Going to have a little Superhero snack before the FFXIV feast!
